Singer-songwriter Lady Gaga, who has always been one of the LGBTQiA+ community’s allies, continues to speak out as the community’s rights are threatened by legislation across the United States.  During the pop star’s Jazz and Piano Las Vegas Residency at Dolby Live, which resumed for the first time since May 2022, she took time in the show to dedicate a song to the transgender community.

The Grammy winner, 37, performed her 2011 hit queer anthem, Born this way in honour of trans people and spoke out about the importance of using her platform. “I’ve got something to say about trans rights in this country,” Gaga said before performing the song in footage captured by fans. “You got something to say, you’ve got to speak up, alright?”
